SOUVENIRS FOR COUNTRY PARK VISITORS

***

VISITORS TO HONG KONG COUNTRY PARKS FROM TOMORROW (SATURDAY) CAN EACH PICK UP TWO SOUVENIRS WITH A MESSAGE ON FIRE PREVENTION.

THE SOUVENIRSA CALENDAR CARD FOR 1984 COMPLETE WITH LUNAR DATES AND A BOOKMARK HAVE BEEN PRODUCED BY THE AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES DEPARTMENT AS PART OF THE PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN ON COUNTRYSIDE FIRE PREVENTION.

DESIGNED BY THE GOVERNMENT INFORMATION SERVICES, THE CARD DEPICTS A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY ON ONE SIDE WITH A SLOGAN IN CHINESE URGING VISITORS TO PROTECT THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. THE FIRE PREVENTION LOGO IS ALSO SHOWN ON THE CARD WHICH FITS NICELY INTO WALLETS AND SHIRT POCKETS.

THE BOOKMARK CONTAINS VITAL POINTS ON FIRE PREVENTION IN THE COUNTRYSIDE, AND IS ALSO AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE.
